Renal Artery Repair in Karnataka

Is angioplasty an alternative to surgery?

Yes, many patients are treated first with balloon angioplasty and a stent, and open repair is reserved for more complex blockages or when stenting fails; a vascular surgeon can assess which is right for you.

Will my blood pressure normalize after surgery?

Many patients see significant improvement in blood pressure control, though some may still need medication; results depend on how long the narrowing was present before treatment.

What are the risks of renal artery repair?

Risks include bleeding, kidney injury, blood clots, and general anesthesia risks; your surgical team will monitor kidney function closely before and after the procedure.

How long is the hospital stay?

Most patients stay around 5-7 days depending on whether the repair is open or minimally invasive.

Can both kidneys be affected?

Yes, renal artery stenosis can be one-sided or bilateral, and treatment strategy depends on which kidney or kidneys are affected — discuss imaging results with your specialist.
